What is a Meme?

The term "Meme" is a neologism used to describe a concept or catchphrase that spreads quickly from person to person, much like viral marketing. It's usually an inside joke, a funny video, something gross, image-editing, or just something... strange.

Have you heard about Rickrolling? Or have you been Rickrolled? If you have ever clicked on a link before thinking it was something else, but instead you see this, then you have been Rickrolled at some point. The reason why I'm bringing that up is because that itself, is a meme. You see if spreading like a wild-fire throughout the internet. In a way, the idea a meme is sort of like a big "bandwagon effect", everyone sees that it's the thing to do so everyone hops on board and starts doing it too.

Meme Videos

Below are some of the more famous meme videos, such as the Cakeroll (baking a cake), Rickroll, Dramatic Prairie Dog, All Your Base, Badger Badger, Star Wars Kid, and more. You'll notice that many of these videos have millions of views and thousands of comments with each one.

Advertising With Memes

Let's look at advertising with memes. Below are a couple examples of how it works, and it really makes you wonder if the advertisers purposely did this, since afterall you can make a meme hit millions of viewers with an extremely cheap budget (or even free).



The LOLcat Experience

The lolcat meme is pretty popular, especially on Saturdays. Why on Saturdays? It's because it's been re-named to Caturday by many lolcat fans, and that is the day that people get together and show off their new cat creations.

The O'RLY Owl

This is another meme that uses an owl, it's famous for the big eye'd look and the expression of "OH REALLY?" which is re-labeled as "o'rly?".

THey are enjoyable. It shows what people consider "fads" in society.

Twobit says:

I like memes, just as long as their not over-used. Sometimes I think they can be quite creative.

No.

BlackroseBugg says:

I think memes are engaging - until they take the place of actual communication. All too often, people will just link in a video, or a lolcat instead of actually taking the time to type out an answer. And that is troublesome in the long run, if all we do is throw memes at each other, and call it a social life! :)

 

Meme Advertising Books

If you want to get thousands or even millions of people to your site(s), it would be worth it to read up on what makes a meme. Afterall, one of the most powerful forms of marketing your site (or item) is through a meme, it can cost you next to nothing to start, and the rewards can be going on for years to come.
